And Nomar Mazara only 75 miles to the south...not too long ago they had too many outfielders in LA.


Sure would be nice to have Alek Thomas as a LHH to play RF about now but the Sox deliberately passed him up due to their relationship with his father in, you guess it, strength and conditioning.  

JB Wendelken still hanging in there with DBacks as well.

Luis Gonzalez and Mazara still hanging tough statistically.

I wish San Diego was 75 miles south of LA. :)

Rodon starting off 3 0 0 1 5 

against the Braves in ATL.  Just 38 pitches so far.

 

2.72 ERA

The list of pitchers better than him right now is very, very small. It'll be fascinating to see what Rodon's next contract looks like if he's able to stay healthy the rest of this season.

There aren't a lot of great pitchers that could be FA's.  Musgrove is #1 currently, but I think Rodon is the one that would be the better bet for one of those Top 6-8 payroll teams that can take on significant contractual risk.

If they stay on the current schedule we miss Rodon by one game…he would pitch the day after that series…July 4th.

Next start is at home against Detroit, Tuesday June 28th.

Next Monday off day.  And Thursday off day.

He could theoretically pitch Sunday 3rd of July or it would be DeSclafini.
